RFC 3485 Title: The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP) Static Dictionary for Signaling Compression (SigComp) Author(s): M. Garcia-Martin, C. Bormann, J. Ott, R. Price, A. B. Roach Status: Standards Track Date: February 2003 Mailbox: miguel.a.garcia@ericsson.com, cabo@tzi.org, jo@tzi.org, richard.price@roke.co.uk, adam@dynamicsoft.com Pages: 30 Characters: 80195 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sipping-sigcomp-sip-dictionary-05.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3485.txt The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a text-based protocol for initiating and managing communication sessions. The protocol can be compressed by using Signaling Compression (SigComp). Similarly, the Session Description Protocol (SDP) is a text-based protocol intended for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation. This memo defines the SIP/SDP-specific static dictionary that SigComp may use in order to achieve higher efficiency. The dictionary is compression algorithm independent. This document is a product of the Session Initiation Proposal Investigation Working Group and the Session Initiation Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list. Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
